I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

If it's true that Hiyo didn't recognize Honoka at first because she rarely saw her going out...

So, Arisa still had a deep impression of Honoka's baseball cap and her makeup, even though she had only seen it once in a shopping mall in Ginza.

"What's Mio's older sister doing here?"

Could it be... that he secretly followed Mio here?

Although I'm not afraid of things like meeting the parents, I'm worried about what would happen if Xiaoling's family saw me taking him into a hotel...

Even after leaving the room, the boy next to her had changed his clothes.

This is something that can't be explained no matter how you look at it.

"Arisa, what's wrong? You don't look well."

Just as she was pondering what to do next, Xi Ling, who noticed that her expression was a little off, couldn't help but ask with some concern.

He thought it was because he had been taking a long shower that Arisa was hungry and had low blood sugar.

Although Nozomi didn't know whether demons could experience hypoglycemia.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things." She said somewhat awkwardly, without mentioning that Fanxia had followed them.

It wasn't until they entered the restaurant and found a seat that Ximiao, who had her back to Fanxia, ​​was unable to see her menacing expression.

This made the girl, who mistakenly thought that Honoka was a member of Nozomi's family, feel a little pressured.

Arisa's gaze was somewhat evasive, as she tried her best not to look in the direction where Honoka was.

But when her gaze shifted, she saw the oversized sleeveless sweatshirt that Ximiao was wearing.

Because of the overly loose fit and the angle, Arisa could clearly see the bear's nose making its presence felt.

As for whether there was any other fabric under Nozomi's thigh-high hoodie, only he and Arisa probably know.

"Hey~ Mio, did you tell your family that we're dating?"

After ordering, Arisa suddenly asked Himo this question.

"Yes, can't I say that?"

"Of course not... I just wanted to confirm, thinking I'd like to visit your house sometime, Mio."

Arisa says she absolutely cannot stand having this third wheel following her every time she goes out on a date with Mio.

It seems I still need to find an opportunity to introduce her to my family.

But what she didn't know was that after hearing what she said, the spicy cheese snack that Ximiao was enjoying suddenly lost its appeal.

Honka-nee already didn't like Arisa much, and given Arisa's personality—she wouldn't tolerate being slighted—if the two of them met...

He'll be the only one who ends up ruined.

Therefore, after Arisa finished speaking, he planned to gloss over the matter for now.

This would allow him to spend a little more time preparing Fanxia mentally, so that she wouldn't actually get angry and kick him out.

At that point, he will be truly finished.

Chapter Nineteen: Fanxia's Unbearable Temper

In the women's restroom next to the restaurant.

After having lunch with Himeko.

Arisa simply couldn't withstand the pressure of being stared at by Nozomi's older sister.

So she made up an excuse and told Ximiao that she needed to touch up her makeup.

After leaving the restaurant, she rushed here, intending to calm herself down.

All I could see was the sink in the restroom.

Arisa, who was looking in the mirror and applying lip balm to her soft pink lips, looked rather unhappy.

She looked in the mirror at the delicate makeup she had specially applied that day, and couldn't help but sigh.

Her original plan was to have Ximiao busy with the moving in the morning, make him sweat, and then have him take a shower.

It was so that it would be convenient for her to get things done in the afternoon...

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Little did she know that Xi Ling's sister would also come along, ruining her plan to completely devour him today.

however.

Just as Arisa finished applying lip balm, washed her hands, and was about to go back to the restaurant to find Nozomi,

At that moment, the door to the women's restroom was pushed open from the outside.

The next instant, she could clearly feel the temperature around her dropping rapidly.

Even the water droplets on her own hands, which she hadn't dried after washing them, felt a little cold to her, making her pause in surprise.

"what?"

But Arisa, who was a demon herself, quickly understood what was going on.

Her beautiful eyes, which had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly became serious.

Without the slightest hesitation, she revealed her demonic horns, wings, and tail.

Standing at the door was none other than the "older sister" of Ximiao, who had been staring at her since the restaurant.

Even now, she shows no intention of taking off her baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask.

Neither of them spoke first.

Followed by.

Standing at the only exit, Fanxia silently locked the door behind her, then walked to the mirror and turned on the faucet at the sink.

She stood there beside Arisa, letting the water pour onto her hands, then freeze into thin ice and fall into the sink.

"...This should be the first time we've met in real life, right?"

A somewhat muffled voice suddenly rang out from under the mask.

"It really is our first time meeting~ I didn't expect you, a total shut-in, to actually come out, but what surprised me even more is that the 'older sister' that Mio mentioned is actually you..."

The two were so close, coupled with the eerie low temperature around them, and Fanxia's outfit, which was typical of people with social anxiety.

It would be strange if Arisa still didn't recognize her by now.

"If you knew, you damned devil, why don't you get lost! I was the one who got to Mio's side first!"

Just like suppressing the anger of having your favorite toy taken away by someone else, Fanxia said coldly.

She had seen it while they were eating; Arisa and Mio were being all lovey-dovey, their eyes practically practically drooling over each other!

Envy, or perhaps jealousy, negative emotions completely overwhelmed her reason.

The biting cold wind kept emanating from her body, and in an instant, the walls of the entire women's restroom were covered with frost.

Even the strategist, whose rationality was still intact, tried his best to dissuade her, but he couldn't change her mind. He could only watch helplessly as she followed Arisa into the women's restroom through the screen.

Fanxia plans to take advantage of Nozomi's absence and finally get rid of this damned demon!

Then, Mio, who thought she had been abandoned and was heartbroken, felt the care from Honoka again.

What followed was a natural progression...

perfect!

She couldn't help but think that.

However, Honoka overlooked one crucial question: could her fighting prowess, as a shut-in, even hold her own against Arisa?

……

In the restaurant.

Sitting alone in her seat, Hiyo took out her phone and glanced at the time.

He couldn't help but wonder why Arisa hadn't returned after being gone for so long.

But then he thought that the women's restroom usually has a long queue, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

I don’t know how long it took.

Unaware of the situation in the women's restroom, Nozomi successfully dealt with her fifth free mango pudding.

A rather disheveled figure was slowly walking towards him.

Noticing that something seemed off about her, Nozomi quickly swallowed the pudding in her mouth and asked in surprise.

"Hey? Arisa, what's wrong?"

She was perfectly fine just a moment ago, but after going outside, her clothes became tattered and had some ice crystals left on them.

Seeing this, Xi Ling quickly got up and helped her to a seat. She also took a tissue and carefully patted the ice crystals off her body.

Arisa naturally noticed the boy's worried expression.

"It's nothing... I accidentally bumped into someone, and the ice bucket that's used to chill drinks spilled on me."

She explained this to Xiling, without mentioning what she had done in the women's restroom.

However, Nozomi was somewhat skeptical of her statement.

He found it hard to believe that Arisa, a demon, could be so careless.

After seeing Arisa sneeze several times in a row, he lost all interest in everything else.

He quickly led the girl to the elevator, intending to take her back to her room so she could change into clean clothes.
